Today is my co-worker Shelley's birthday and we started the day with breakfast food (almond coffee cake, breakfast casserole, milk, oj, a Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake....yes that's right cake for breakfast...so good). Now, we are moving on to lunch and afternoon snacks (stromboil, spinach dip, hot wings, chips, key lime pie, cake, cheesecake dip, fruit and cream and much more!) My friend Veronica made the Stromboli and I love these yummy sandwiches. Here is the recipe she uses. And if you are interested in the background of the word Stromboli here is what Wikipedia says. This rolled baked sandwich is perfect for feeding a crowd of hungry sports fans, or a hungry family for a casual supper. You can really use any combination of meats, cheeses and even veggies you choose, so take our suggestions with a grain of salt. One hint however, the more veggies you use, the more liquid they'll release, so too many veggies can make a somewhat soggy stromboli. Use as many different fillings as you like, but it's important to not layer them too thickly, as this will make it difficult to roll the stromboli.

Ahh . . . I recently made (and posted on my blog) about a stuffed bread loaf . . . I didn't consider it a stromboli, but now that I read your blog, I think it might qualify! Guess I should read your blog more often!

About the Cook

Cooking to me is an adventure that I tackle everyday, as most do. I am a farm girl who grew up in my mother’s kitchen learning the “tricks of the trade” and developing my own special recipes. Although I don’t reside on the farm anymore I still cook up some of the best home cooked food around due to the teaching of my mother, researching cookbooks and help from friends all over.
